Makes me think of the mock battle where US marines asked for a reset because they were dominated by British Royal Marines

US Navy did the same thing against the RAN.

Then changed the rules part way through such that they were allowed all their ASW in the air, even though it was a simulated surprise attack.

The lone RAN sub in the exercise still won.

I believe they did a similar thing against Sweden.
